I do actually work!

[wh!rlw!nd]

For those of you that don't know me, I am a HC regular however due to recently not having the interwebz at home and not having a PC sufficient enough to run word pad, let alone ET - I only play ET when im at work.

 

The ongoing joke has been that i actually never do any work, Or even that it couldnt be possible for me to be playing at work - i just use @work on my alias so i dont look like a complete nub when i get pwned (most of the time i get pwned, but hey)

 

So i figured i would post a couple of pics of me working, and later i'll get one of me Playing ET from Work.

 

 

 

 

 

See you in the server

Yes sir. Hence the near 12 months of Trial eh? :

 

 

Here is me connected to HC and clearly not doing any work - which is how about 8 / 12 of my weekend night shift hours are spent!

what type of monitoring software is on your left monitor? what do you usually monitor there?

Its a web based support tool for our back end developed in house. Nothing fancy but does a wonderful job. Has a hell of a lot of functions, here are some: Allows us to view ports on the network remotley, monitor traffic, run cabling tdr tests for broken pairs, see port errors, find devices, block devices / ports under admin state. Provision IPT's. What i was doing when the SS was taken was running a traffic capture on a port where a resident had said that they were getting lots of packet loss and up and down speed issues - However this looks to be another PICNIC.

I see. so its a software more or less like prtg, cacti, mrtg. But the one you're using, was it also being done via SNMP protocol at layer 2/3 only?

 

The one on your right side, was that a network sniffer thing?

[wh!rlw!nd]

Not quite - it encorperates MRTG, and looks similar to Cacti - which we also use. Yes sir on the SNMPC front - infact thats what was on the right hand screen.

 

You are just slightly familiar with the odd network here and there and its support, it would seem?

Interesting custom made. Usually, a company develops that and turn into a commercial purpose software.

 

whatsupgold is one and is also good the same like prtg. Alternatively anyone can opt for cacti or nagios for free ones on getting those layer 3 stats like what you've mentioned. Just saying, you can actually see more stats at layer 7 like deep packet inspections, source/dest IP conversations, active protocols, source/dest ports etc by simply looking at a single packet thought it costs a lot, but awesome to know what we are able to do and grasp from that.

 

Anyway OT and nice desk!

Away from the Networking tools, have you heard of Freewire? Freewire Softphone or more likely - Freewire TV? If so its lead developer works for my company (I say works for, he is the Development Director) and the tool i am referring too on left hand screen is mostly his little thing of beauty. The man is an almighty hero... Pretty much talks in Binary and sees the world as Neo does..

Nice to know. I guess that guy is more into free software ethusiasts noh? That is nice, get a pix with him while he's around with you there maybe Google will get him sooner or later
